Research Interests

Annika is interested in the resistance and resilience of aquatic communities to disturbance. Her research addresses disturbances that are relevant to the conservation and management of aquatic ecosystems through a combination of field observation, experimentation, and modeling. Disturbances of interest include flow alteration, climate change, nutrient loading, invasive species, and energy development. Most of her research involves fish that are of conservation concern and is set in a management context.

Teaching Interests

Annika currently teaches advanced fisheries management and seminars on topics of interest at University of Wyoming.
